LeBron James will be joined on the Lakers this summer by eldest son Bronny James, who was selected by his father's team at No. 55 overall of the NBA draft.
Bronny James, the son of NBA all-time leading scorer LeBron James, was selected 55th overall by the Lakers in the second round of the NBA draft on Thursday at Barclays Center. James, a McDonald’s All-American at Sierra Canyon High before an underwhelming freshman season at USC, had been one of the most discussed second-round picks in recent memory. Detractors pointed to his statistics, just 4.8 points on 36.
At the combine, multiple NBA executives admitted to having meetings to talk about Bronny James as potential means to either lure his father to their organizations or as a potential trade piece. In the second scenario, teams believe they could potentially recoup draft capital in the future from LeBron James’ team should Bronny’s situation not be seen as ideal. All of it has clouded the positive storylines at stake.
